    This is the last I’ll comment on this: No, I’m not from the Pear Orchard.  I’m a white boy from sour lake that devoted 15 years of my life working with African American kids from Beaumont, many from the Pear Orchard.  Don’t believe me, ask Mieka or Kevin Dotson.  If where you’re from actually even matters in this case, which it shouldn’t, I’ve more than earned the right to stick up for a Beaumont kid.  Sorry that literally everyone else has misinterpreted your seemingly straightforward comparison.  The rest of the stuff you say in this post is great.  I agree with it 100%.  

    That was understood from jump street. We uplift our own and do not bring them down. Enough of that goes on in the world. Again I wasn’t comparing. Just making a comment about Kobe. And from what I understand it’s more of a laceration and not an avulsion fracture. Two completely different kinds of injury. Kayde I’m sure wants to play very badly regardless the extent of that injury. God bless him 🤲🏽

    in a thread discussing a 17-year-old high school kid's injury, you posted that if Kobe had the SAME injury, he would play and probably drop 40.  That's the literal definition of comparing one to the other.  Let's get back to the game.

    As an African American man who grew up in Beaumont Texas, I am the last person who would try to bring down one of our kids. (We DO NOT do that)  That makes absolutely no sense and I’m not sure how or why someone who is not from where I from is insulted. No idiot in their right mind would compare a professional hall of famer to a 17 year old kid. I guess I need to give a lecture on context clues/ reading skills. If your understanding is bad that’s one thing. We in the Pear Orchard are bout uplifting our community and wanting our kids to be successful. I’ve been going to the state tournament since 1986 and I want BU to win it again. It’s unfortunate Dotson got hurt. My prayers are up for him and his family. I also pray that the level of comprehension some people have is improved. As of right now… nevermind. Let’s go BU! The only thing good from Round Rock is Round Rock Donuts!

    Throw book smarts out the window, son. You brought up and compared an 18/3 high school kid to arguably a top 5 player of all time. Your common sense, or lack thereof, should've told you that one probably should've been kept in your almighty think tank. 

    I in no way compared a 17 year old kid to a grown man who was a paid professional. Go back and read carefully.

    1. Do you know the extent of his injury? Because I do, and Kobe isn't dropping 40 in the same condition.  Highly unlikely he would play, and if he did he would be severely limited.

    2. Dotson doesn't have a choice.  If the doctor doesn't clear him the school isn't going to let him play, no matter how bad he wants to.

    3. There's a lot more at stake for Dotson than just this next game.

     

    Regardless, it's kind of ridiculous that you're on here insinuating that a high school kid isn't tough enough or doesn't care enough.  You either don't know him or are a terrible judge of character.

    I know the Dotson family very well. I’m not from Nederland or Lumberton… and also not a keyboard gangster. I never insinuated anything. You guys who are doing all this talking are telling on yourselves. Again, with this level of comprehension I’m sure your SAT scores were mediocre at best lmao. That’s if you even took it

    Stil not sure what the extent of Dotsons injury is. And again - this Kobe fun fact has nothing to do with a high school kid. Just pointing out how he willed through an avulsion fracture in his index finger (shooting hand) essentially for an entire season and won a nba championship:

    Fun fact: Kobe Bryant won the 2010 Championship while playing with a broken index finger on his shooting hand 

     

    We hear a lot about Michael Jordan's Flu Game and how tough and legendary his performances are. But as always with Kobe, there are a lot of things that tend to get forgotten and overlooked.

    One such tidbit is the fact that he played in all playoff games during the 2010 championship run and won a ring while playing with a broken index finger in his shooting hand.

    Essentially, he re-crafted his entire shooting motion to adjust to the injury and played through it.

    Bryant suffered an avulsion fracture in two places near the tip of the [index] finger on Dec. 11 [2009] as he tried to field a low Jordan Farmar pass. Bryant kept playing despite a projection of needing at least six weeks to heal – and he played pretty well. He was the Western Conference Player of the Month for December.

    He wound up also the NBA Finals MVP, and he got there by refashioning his shooting stroke to put more pressure on the ball with his thumb and middle finger – trying to use the splinted index finger only as a guide. With the help of Lakers assistant coach Chuck Person, Bryant retooled his entire follow-through.

    But I do remember a few years ago, that exact same style of play propelled them to the state title game and had them with a 20 point lead on an all world Duncanville team…. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Exactly. And what was the end result once peevy made adjustments? 

    of course I was talking specifically to their roster etc this year. That may of won district but they did lose 7 games or so. I didn’t have them losing to CS but definitely didn’t have them winning region 3
